Lyrics:

People can take everything away from you

But they can never take away your truth

But the question is..

Can you handle mine?



They say I'm crazy

I really don't care

That's my prerogative

They say I'm nasty

But I don't give a damn

Getting boys is how I live

Some ask me questions

Why am I so real?

But they don't undersand me

I really don't know the deal about my sister

Trying hard to make it right

Not long ago

Before I won this fight



[Chorus:]



Everybody's talking all this stuff about me

Why don't they just let me live?

I don't need permission, make my own decisions

That's my prerogative

that's my prerogative

(it's my prerogative)



It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative)

You can’t tell me what to do



Don't get me wrong

I'm really not souped

Ego trips is not my thing

All these strange relationships really gets me down

I see nothing wrong in spreading myself around



Everybody's talking all this stuff about me

Why don't they just let me live?

I don't need permission, make my own decisions

That's my prerogative

That’s my prerogative



Everybody's talking all this stuff about me

Why don't they just let me live?

I don't need permission, make my own decisions

That's my prerogative

that's my prerogative



It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative)

You can’t tell me what to do



why can't I live my life

without all of the things

That people say

oh oh



Everybody's talking all this stuff about me

Why don't they just let me live?

I don't need permission, make my own decisions

That's my prerogative (they say I’m crazy)



Everybody's talking all this stuff about me

Why don't they just let me live? (they say I’m use to)

I don't need permission, make my own decisions

That's my prerogative

(it's my prerogative)
